Valorant Agent 31 Leaked Ahead of Oct 17 Reveal: Chinese Duelist & Abilities

With less than 24 hours remaining until Riot Games takes the stage before the VALORANT Champions 2026 Lower Bracket Final in Shanghai tomorrow (Saturday, October 17 at 2:00 PM CST / 11:00 AM PKT), leaks from Riot’s official “Investigate the Scene” Pop-Up at Waji Café in Shanghai have blown the lid off Agent 31.

The roster’s 9th Duelist is confirmed by attendees and dataminers to be a female Chinese Radiant Duelist whose visual design and radianite accessories tie directly into Sage’s backstory.

Appearance & The “Sage Green Orb” Lore Connection

Teaser props and artwork displayed inside the Waji Café investigation room in Shanghai depict Agent 31 with striking long white hair, glowing violet/purple eyes, and a pendant holding a jade-green radianite orb identical in material to Sage’s healing and resurrection orbs.

Lore clues at the café suggest Agent 31 represents the offensive counterpart to Sage’s defensive radianite mastery—channeling unstable kinetic and phase energy rather than restoration.

Leaked Abilities: How Her Directional “Unseen Dash” Differs from Jett & Yoru

While Riot will air the full gameplay trailer during tomorrow’s broadcast prior to the NRG vs. G2 Esports / Paper Rex Lower Bracket showdown, early playtest leaks point to an aggressive entry kit built around breaking crosshair placement:

Detail / Slot	Leaked Information (Agent 31)
Role	Duelist (9th Duelist in VALORANT)
Origin	China (Tied to Sage’s Radianite Order lore)
Signature Ability (E)	Phase / Directional Dash: A burst movement ability that briefly masks her silhouette or bends trajectory mid-dash, making her untraceable for a split second during site entry.
Secondary Utility	Radianite disruption / kinetic debuff designed to punish anchors holding tight angles.
Official Gameplay Reveal	Saturday, October 17, 2026 @ 2:00 PM Shanghai Time (Champions Lower Final Broadcast)

How Much VP Will Agent 31 Cost at Launch?
